Howdy,
I finally got Gentoo on the old rig I had laying around. This is not
the one I usually refer to as NAS box. I named this one NAS2. LOL I
got one problem that is confusing me. I've compared it to my main rig
and the install guide and I think I got everything right but maybe I
have a typo, missed something or got some other issue. This is what the
screen says, typing by hand so I hope I don't insert a typo.
Bringing up interface enp3s0
dhcp ...
Running dhcpcd ...
dhcpcd-10.0.6 starting
main: if_opensockets: address family not supported by protocol
dhcpcd exited.
At first I thought that 10.0.6 was a typo on my part in some config
file. The usual IP address for that port is 10.0.0.6. Eventually I
figured out it was the version of dhcp. So, after getting past that, I
started checking everything network related in the install guide.
Basically, set it to use dhcp and let er rip. Well, this is the first
time dhcp has gave me any grief, which is why I think I did something
wrong.
You probably don't have ipv6 enabled in the kernel.
There are more and more packages that will not compile with ipv6
disabled. (Or just do not provide the option to disable ipv6.)
I do not know if dhcpcd is one of them though.
